A large part of the projects in this Campus is about digital scrapbooking. Although you can learn how to create your own supplies, you might have already collected some, or might find great deals on ready-made papers, elements, templates, kits. You might not realize it, but those supplies you gather tend to add up very quickly. If you don't have a reasonable organization, you will waste a lot of time looking for the perfect paper, ribbon, button, etc. So, let's make it simpler and faster for you.

Featured Resource – Creative Fabrica
When working on various graphic projects, unless we are particularly skilled at drawing everything from scratch, we love a good source of supplies. Creative Fabrica is one of those sites where you can find a variety of designs that can be used with your PaintShop Pro.
Scrapbooking Theme – Zoo
Looking for a fun, magical experience that both adults and kids can enjoy? Well, going to the zoo could be a great choice! It’s not only amusing but you’ll surely find it educational too. Imagine seeing animals you don’t usually encounter in your daily life, and even getting a chance to be up close and personal with them.
Do you still remember the first time you went to a zoo? Did you find it awesome? Or have you brought your kids to a zoo before? If your answer is yes, then these layouts will give you some inspiration on how to showcase your cute and awesome zoo photos.
Scrapbooking Theme – Self-Care
People often stress about lots of things. Work, money, and family matters are just some of them. We tend to have a long, busy, yet productive day trying to solve every issue that’s coming our way. While these kinds of stuff are essential and have to be handled properly, there is also one thing that we should never forget to add to our list and that is taking care of ourselves.
There’s a saying, “You can’t pour from an empty cup”. Have you heard of that? This may sound simple but it really has a deep meaning. It’s a great reminder that self-care is a must and that we need to be kind to ourselves in order to truly take care of the people and things that are important to us.
In this month’s theme, we will be presenting some cool layouts that give focus on the different ways to do self-care.
Scrapbooking Theme – Mail/Letters
Before the advancement in technology, we used to get overly excited whenever we receive letters via postal mail. Those days are long gone but anyone who had experienced that thing can probably agree that it was something special and very unique. Imagine having to read beautifully handwritten messages from the people you love and care about. Isn’t it wonderful to know somebody remembered you and took the time to write and send you a letter?
Unlike emails and text messages which you can receive in an instant, snail mails take some time to get to you. Typically, it can take 1 to 4 days or even a whole week depending on the location and circumstances. Yes, you might have to wait for days but that’s part of the thrill!
Do you like writing letters? Do you still have a collection of handwritten mails from your family, friends, or someone special? Then, take a look at these layouts we featured here so you can get some ideas on how to put them in the spotlight for your next scrapbooking project.

Scrapbooking Theme – Reunions
The year 2020 is finally coming to an end and that means your list of events will surely be filled with some of the most anticipated reunions you’ve been hoping for.

Scrapbooking Theme – Snowman
The weather is getting colder, and sending some chilly winter vibes. And what better way to enjoy the snow than making our very own version of a snowman.

It has some added stuff for facial features and sometimes, people even put hats and scarves to make their snowmen look more adorable.
Kids and even adults alike find it fun to build a snowman. It’s a classic winter activity that’s not just free but also helps in developing creativity and teamwork. It can also become a way to reconnect and get closer with your loved ones. It may be an old tradition but it’s is still popular up to these days.

Scrapbooking Theme – Drinks
For us to function well, we can’t just rely on food alone. We also have to drink in order to survive. The basic function of a drink is to satisfy our thirst but that’s not only what this consumable liquid can do.
There are certain drinks that can do our body good. Milk, fresh juice, smoothie, and water are some of the perfect examples of a nutritious beverage. When they’re consumed habitually, you will reap the benefits and enjoy a healthier life. Your body will surely thank you.
However, not all drinks are created equal. Some may not be good for your physical health and could potentially do you more harm. But as we know, there are also some beverages that can help ease your anxiety and relieve your stress despite containing the booze. You just need to keep in mind that drinking in moderation is the key.
Here, we’ve collected several fun layouts featuring some of the most popular drinks we love. You may want to create your very own drink-themed scrapbook project right after seeing them! Which of these drinks do you usually have?
